Ahead of decorating the Golden Globe stage, Rajamouli created a milestone by becoming the first Indian director to participate in the popular US talk show 'Late Night with Seth Meyers'. Sharing a video on Twitter, the talk show wrote, "In his native India, RRR director SS Rajamouli knows what to expect from his fans when his movies open." 

In the video, Seth Meyers asked Rajamouli, "What one of your films is like on an opening weekend in India?", for which the director said, "The fans will be tearing up the newspapers all through the night, making huge bags of confetti, and they come to the theatre. The moment the actor's name is displayed or the actors come in or they anticipate their favourite star is coming onto the screen, all the confetti will be thrown into the air. You won't see the film and they will be laughing and shouting so loudly, you can't hear the sound."
